Huh?!? I never knew you were that alternative-lifestyles lady. These are mental images and juxtapositions that can never be deleted.

Really? Funny stuff right there.

Davey going over to DAJ's blog and spamming the shit out of it in defense of JanieBelle was hysterical.

I saw the spamming. So that was what all that was about? Lou, I've gained a new appreciation for your Jedi-like power of manipulation over the weak-minded.

paragwinn and heddle,

As I'm quite sure both of you are familiar with the personalities involved, sit down when you have an hour or two and read through UDOJ, following the links to UD and JAD and I guarantee it will provide as much amusement and laughs as any other form of entertainment available.

If not, I'll send you both a bottle of scotch.

Is there sort of a starting point? The linked post where the masquerade is revealed doesn't have a sort of "begin here" link. What is the other blog being mentioned, DAJ? Is that one of Davison's blog?

I have a faculty meeting at noon, and it would be nice to have some entertaining reading to get me through it.

--------------Mysticism is a rational enterprise. Religion is not. The mystic has recognized something about the nature of consciousness prior to thought, and this recognition is susceptible to rational discussion. The mystic has reason for what he believes, and these reasons are empirical. --Sam Harris

Lou's pic in the left column did not exist and the "I'm entirely fictional" under Janiebelle was not there. Follow the posts as if you did not know this was set up by Lou. Several short posts are inconsequential and can be skipped, but they provided legitimacy to the grand charade. To get the full benefit requires some reading at UD and Davison's blog.

Particular memories I recall were the Marines/Kate scare (complete with advice from the floating command center), the Big Green Marker treatment of Davison, WmAd's personal banning of Janiebelle, Springer's defense of the girls at both UD/JAD, the aforementioned Springer flounce-out-from-UD post...

While many individual events are funny in and of themselves, the entirety of the comedy-drama and the people it pulled in is without compare.

I've always liked Collier's rendition, and the mythos was perfect for what I had in mind, though I confess that Kate was a spur-of-the-moment inspiration to retain Davy's suddenly luke-warm attention toward JanieBelle.

Since Nakashima hasn't won white box posting priveleges yet, I hope my best days are still ahead of me. It was great to be unbanned by Barry, but I thought Nak was toast when he taunted Denyse with Proverbs 30:20. Apparenty, she didn't bother to look it up.

"This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wrong."

This is a tiny contribution, not UD, not creationist (when I've posted at UD they had zero idea where I was coming from, and I've never even been given typographical dirty looks).

When climate denialist Ian Plimer said the dog ate his purloined and photoshopped graph from the Great Global Warming Swindle and he got it out of a particular edition of a German-language journal called Klimafakten - he's a nutbar about editions; If you say he got something wrong in his Choose-Your-Own-Science book, he always says you have to say in what edition - said that when the book had been out a week - anyway, it was definitely not in any edition of Klimafakten.

So I "defended" Plimer, saying I was perusing a Basque-language climate journal and noticed one article printed, surprisingly in the Tibetan language that contained the chart and the article backed up Plimer. I dunno how I could have been more Dan Brown / DaveScott. Maybe I should have started - I'd been called in by Interpol, when ...

The long and short is, I was cited by quite a few blog commenters and a handful of bloggers. And I amused myself greatly.

What will you do when your biology students find UDOJ, etc. "Mr. ____, this was your WEBSITE?"

Although I might provide encouragement there. For a while, I was a straight-edge with a shaved head. I started subbing - wearing a nice suit and a trilby as befits a ska guy - and one time it was for a good friend, so I came in an hour early the first day to discuss the week with her. The long and short of it was, word got around that "Ms. X has a Nazi boyfriend and he's a hard-ass who'll beat you up" (which is jr. high boys for you), and not only were they perfectly behaved for me the whole week, but when she got back they were much more respectful.

I think you'll look very web-savvy.

Well, setting aside the second thoughts I sometimes have about teaching in North Carolina generally, I have considered this (more regarding the administration than the students though), and even blogged about it at Crowded Head.

The long and the short of that is, "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke".
